Answer:

The subcutaneous fat layer lies just below the skin surface  of animals living in colder region and connective tissue helps to separate these layers of fat.

Explanation:

Animals in colder regions and fish of cold water have thick subcutaneous fat layer because fat acts as a good insulator and trap the body heat under the skin. This helps them survive in colder temperatures.

Habitat in cold region has lack of nutrition, so the fat layer also store nutrients that help the animal when required.
